Episode 118: Securing Wi-Fi — Encryption Standards and Enterprise Practices

Wireless networks require more than just a strong signal—they also demand strong security. In this episode, we explore the evolution of wireless encryption, from outdated protocols like WEP to modern standards like WPA2 and WPA3. You'll learn how each encryption method works, what vulnerabilities exist, and why pre-shared keys are appropriate in some environments but not in others. We also cover enterprise-grade wireless security, including 802.1X authentication, RADIUS integration, and certificate-based login systems. These practices ensure only authorized devices gain access, even in environments with thousands of users. Whether you're locking down a home network or building secure wireless infrastructure for a corporation, this episode gives you a comprehensive roadmap for wireless protection.
